209. Red angel (1966)


Country: Japan
Directed by Yasuzo Masumura

Probably my favorite Masumura film, 'Red angel' gives a unique, brutal, anti-heroic image of war mixed with sensuality. This is not a contradiction as sex comes easily up when your life can be taken at any moment in war time if you are in the frontline. Although the film have many  weaknesses and some indifferent scenes they are moments that seems like a masterpiece. Not many times before in Japanese cinema the war was portrayed with such a honesty
